I decided to step up and run for Denver Mayor because this election could not be more critical. I think of the Denver I want my daughter to stay and thrive in. What kind of city are we going to leave our kids?

Growing up with a single mom in West Denver, we faced a lot of hurdles: addiction, violence, housing insecurity. Still, this incredible city and community helped us through those tough times. I’m grateful to her and I want to pay it forward.

That's why I’ve spent the last 25 years working in finance and volunteering on local civic and nonprofit organizations to build affordable housing communities, schools, and health clinics that went on to serve tens of thousands of Denverites. I'm ready to keep that fight going. Join me, and together we can build a city where every Denverite, regardless of their neighborhood, can achieve their version of success.
